Rick Missed

Another lucky break; hurricane Rick turned east and totally missed the Baja pennisula. Hopefully, this will be the last big one for this season, but the hurricane season doesn't end until mid-November, so we're not out of the woods yet...

Hurricane Rick

This storm looked pretty bad just a couple of days ago, but now seems to be losing steam. That's a good thing because it's reported to have been the second strongest hurricane in this part of the Pacific since they have started keeping records!
Initially it was forecast to pass right over La paz, but the track has been adjusted southward and it may even miss Cabo San Lucas as it heads east.
We're still not out of the woods, because hurricanes don't always do what they are supposed to do. But, at this point, things are looking up.
